Example: the package maintainer applies changes to the spec file, but doesn't build the package because they're still tweaking it (or just because they're building it in a side tag with other pieces). Now any packager can jump in, trigger an empty commit and build the package. I know that the same problem may happen with provenpackagers, but, ideally, provenpackagers are usually considered more "responsible"...
